Hmmm.. I'm having a hard time picking just one. Can I go with "all of them"?

So adding on a ton of extra taxes somehow raises the efficiency of a severely inefficient system? haha
My mind isn't idiotic. I think that's the problem.
"In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.
Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.
And one more point: anti-crisis measures should not escalate into financial populism and a refusal to implement responsible macroeconomic policies. The unjustified swelling of the budgetary deficit and the accumulation of public debts are just as destructive as adventurous stock-jobbing."

How A Failed Commune Gave Us What Is Now Thanksgiving
It’s wrong to say that American was founded by capitalists. In fact, America was founded by socialists who had the humility to learn from their initial mistakes and embrace freedom. One of the earliest and arguably most historically significant North American colonies was Plymouth Colony, founded in 1620 in what is now known as Plymouth, Massachusetts. As I’ve outlined in greater detail here before (Lessons From a Capitalist Thanksgiving), the original colony had written into its charter a system of communal property and labor. As William Bradford recorded in his Of Plymouth Plantation, a people who had formerly been known for their virtue and hard work became lazy and unproductive. Resources were squandered, vegetables were allowed to rot on the ground and mass starvation was the result. And where there is starvation, there is plague. After 2 1/2 years, the leaders of the colony decided to abandon their socialist mandate and create a system which honored private property. The colony survived and thrived and the abundance which resulted was what was celebrated at that iconic Thanksgiving feast...
I’m often asked why our current leadership class forgets the lessons of the past so often. They are, after all, very smart men and women. Don’t they know that collectivism will fail?
No, they don’t. Not anymore. For much of our history, our leaders were educated in the principles which were to help them avoid errors once they have joined the ruling class. They studied to learn how to not misuse power. Now our leaders learn nothing of the dangers of abusing power: their education is entirely geared to its acquisition...
Collectivism violates the iron laws of human nature. It has always failed. It is always failing, and it will always fail. I thank God that it is failing now. Providence is teaching us once again.

Taking money from the people that earned it and giving it to the welfare queens in exchange for votes for the Democrat Party is the bullshit we have to deal with.

LOL, this is one of the biggest piles of shit I've ever read. Are you ignoring the examples that worked that I've said many times on this site? They failed because they had disease they weren't exposed to, didn't know the land, natives, didn't know how to farm properly.. You can't blame that on ******* socialism.

list a communist country that's not a shithole or a hellhole.
#resistcapitalism
tons of morons on there crying about how unfair capitalism is, on their new ipods
Denial will get you nowhere.
Disease did not cause the Pilgrims to abandon their socialist beginnings - just as it didn't cause the Soviets to do so - and restart using a capitalist model. The realization that collectivism just doesn't work did and when you grow up you too may learn the undeniable truth about socialism.

They're not even communist countries, they just claim to be, they don't even claim to have achieved communism either. What's your point? Most of us, if not all of us, have items that were made with child labor, yet we oppose it, if we started a hastag that was #resistchildlabor, would you do the same thing? No, you're a hypocrite.

I'm not denying anything, you're acting like these people were socialist, and that communal property fails with a shitty example from the ******* 1620's. The soviets weren't socialists, however, the free ukraine anarchists were, until the bolsheviks slaughtered them. Learn the truth about capitalism and get back to me.

Here's a very visible example that everyone has seen and is why socialism/communism doesn't work.
Look at government jobs where people are locked in at a certain position with little room to make more money and yet they also have to rape at work to lose their job such as at the DMV. They act like if you ask them to do their job it is a huge favor to you when they are PAID to do their job. It's across the board with everyone in employment situations like that and that is the kind of work ethic you will get out of socialism/communism.
